At Larson Family Chiropractic, we believe in the power of chiropractic care to enhance your overall health and well-being. Our chiropractic treatments are designed to align your spine and improve your body’s function, helping to alleviate pain and discomfort.
Our skilled chiropractors use precise, gentle techniques to address issues such as back pain, neck pain, headaches, and more. By focusing on the root causes of your discomfort, we strive to provide long-lasting relief and improve your quality of life.
Chiropractors are highly trained healthcare professionals equipped with specialized skills to address a variety of common health conditions. Their expertise extends beyond joint manipulation to include a range of therapies and educational strategies designed to meet the unique needs of each patient.
Chiropractic care attempts to treat the source and not just the symptoms.
Shots, muscle relaxants, and pain drugs may only cure the symptoms of the issue, but chiropractic care can help by addressing the root of the problem. There is a lesser probability of getting such symptoms later on when pain is treated at the cause.
If you only pay attention to the symptoms, it’s like removing the battery from a smoke alarm because you don’t like the sound, but the fire is still burning. Chiropractic care has much better solutions than that.
Chiropractors are specially trained in spinal manipulative therapy as well as in exercise/rehab. That way, movement dysfunction is attended to but so is strengthening, stretching, and shoring up the support structures of the frame.
A chiropractor can help with aches, pains, creaks, and sprains. If you have an issue with your musculoskeletal system, a chiropractor can provide you with non-drug therapy options.
Treatment that a chiropractor may offer includes:
To reduce discomfort and increase range of motion by gently realigning joints.
To reduce muscle spasms and tension in the connective tissue that surrounds each muscle (fascia).
To reduce discomfort and increase range of motion by gently realigning joints.

LBP plagues our society as one of the most common causes of disability and healthcare expenditures. Joint dysfunction in the lower back is a primary risk factor for the development & progression of low back degeneration. (1)
Fortunately, chiropractors provide researched backed treatment of these joints through spinal manipulation, exercise, and specific patient education.
Neck pain is the second most common reason patients visit a chiropractor.
Changes to daily habits, postural stresses, and workstation ergonomics are among the most common activities resulting in a stiff or painful neck. If neck stiffness is left untreated, a person may experience restricted joints and less range of motion. Spinal manipulation, delivered by chiropractors, has unrivaled success and safety for these types of neck pain. Manipulation, in conjunction with exercise and postural reeducation, often alleviates symptoms quickly.
A chiropractor will spend time with you to understand your unique pain presentation.
They will ask questions, perform a physical exam, and possibly order imaging to understand your condition entirely. Your pain is multi-dimensional, affecting many areas of your life—and so should your treatment plan. A chiropractor can carefully craft a care plan to attack all of the postures, activities, hobbies, and stresses that may be resulting in your chronic pain.
Headaches affect almost half of the population. 15-25% of all headaches originate from the cervical spine.
Successful managing headache patients requires a multifaceted approach with spinal manipulation as a cornerstone of treatment. Several studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of spinal manipulation for these types of headaches.
A recent study in The Spine Journal found that spinal manipulation can cut the number of symptomatic headache days in half, and the number of treatments has a linear dose-response to improvement.
Chiropractic has been shown to be effective in the treatment of headaches and migraines.
Opioid prescriptions typically have one common cause—acute pain. However, most acute pain is due to musculoskeletal damage, sometimes referred to as mechanical neck and back pain. Mechanical pain does not typically respond well to a chemical solution (opioids).
This treatment method often leads to diminished outcomes and chronic use. Opioid dependence, tolerance, and addiction often commence following an acute problem such as surgery, or injury. More than 25% of chronic use follows post-operative or injury-related pain.
Chiropractors specialize in the diagnosis of musculoskeletal disorders: their primary responsibility to the patient is to fully diagnose them—not treat them.
Chiropractors' unique training allows them to find what is causing the pain and work towards finding a solution—not just covering it up.

As a profession, chiropractors are an integrated part of the solution to the opioid epidemic.
